Binding: paperback

Section: Philosophy/Rhetoric/Logic

In this probing and intrepid volume, Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay document the evolution of a dogma that informs the idea that language is violence, or science sexist, or that only white people can be racist. From its coarse origins in French postmodernism, to its refinement within activist academic fields, Pluckrose and Lindsay break down how this often-radical activist scholarship does far more harm than good, not least to those marginalized communities it claims to champion.
